A pair of GE PE portables. Then a few Motorola MX portables with ConvertaComs.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
What was your first GMRS/FRS radio?

The only radios I own that do GMRS are an old pair of Motorola T5950 handhelds and a Cobra Marine MR HH425 handheld. That said I am looking into a new full-featured GMRS radio. I may go for another handheld, but a full 50W radio like the Wouxon KG-1000G is appealing.

I'm new to the GMRS world, so my first GMRS radio was (is) a BTECH GMRS-V2 and also a 15w QYT GS800G mobile. When my budget will allow it, I want to move up to the KG-1000G.
My first radios were the Midland Syn-tech XTR and an Icom U16. Both are still in service.

Just got my GMRS license last week, my 1st is the Radioddity GM30, still deciding on what my mobile will be. And as you can tell by my user name, I'm a Ham also.
